which are its relics, appears perpendicularly refracted, the apical lunule is inflexed ante- 
riorly, and between it and the band is a marginal spot, which is sometimes prolonged an- 
teriorly to the medial band. Under surface moderately hairy at the sides, legs long and 
slender. Anterior tarsi of the male narrowly dilated.

From Maine to Texas, and as far west as Santa Fe: abundant on dry roads, and fre- 
quently seen in the streets of our largest cities. The form @ is found in Kansas and New 
Mexico, with the ordinary variety. The punctures are more distant in the vicinity of 
the row of blue foveze, wherefore, greasy specimens sometimes appear to have a nearly 
smooth longitudinal spot on each elytron. It would perhaps be more in accordance with sci- 
entific law to replace the name micans to this species, but it is so well known by the 
later name given by the same author, that it seems more proper not to make the change. 
GROUP XVI. 
A single species of a dull black colour above, with sericeous surface, but no metallic lus- 
tre except in the impressions; the head is glabrous, finely granulate behind, somewhat 
coarsely striate between the eyes, which are moderate in size; the labrum is yellowish 
white, rather large, broadly prominent and rounded in the middle, with a small mid- 
dle tooth. Palpipiceous, with the last jot black: labial palpi of the male pale with the 
last joint black. Thorax cylindrical, finely alutaceous, not perceptibly granulate, and 
with only a few very fine ruge. Elytra oblong, rounded behind and finely serrate, with 
distinct sutural spine: not deeply but distinctly punctured, with a row of shallow fovez 
towards the suture. 
Body beneath blackish blue, with fine but not dense white hair toward the sides. 
Resembles in many of the characters C. obsoleta, but by the form and sculpture it is 
_ plainly allied to C. punctulata. 
47. C. corvina nigra, opaca, sericea, fronte striolata, thorace quadrato, cylindrico, vix rugoso, ad latera 
parce piloso, elytris immaculatis minus profunde cceruleo-punctatis, foveis ccerulescentibus versus suturam serie 
impressis; subtus nigro-cyanea, lateribus subtilius albo-pilosis. Long. -48.
